Non-Biased Politics Informational Newspaper for HS Students
Monthly newspaper for high school students stating factual information on what's currently happening in politics. Used for educating students that are entering voting age, so that they can make more informative decisions when it comes time to vote. Goal is to increase young registered voters.
Q1: What advice can anyone give to further this idea?
Idea Description
Students will have access to both print and online versions of non-biased political newspaper. Newspaper will concentrate on what is currently happening in politics, as well as a sound off page where students can describe how certain decisions are affecting them and their thoughts on what is happening. School will pay a minimal yearly subscription fee that will cover all students in the high school. Newspaper can be used by teachers for assignments and general discussion.
What will you do if you win $10,000 for this idea?
Start marketing the newspaper, get some advertisers, and start printing.
Vote for it now.
You hit on the fundamental point--unbiased. That's a principle tenet of what we're doing as too much education material out there has a slant or an agenda beyond education. Anything that supports education, I support. If you have a moment to vote in the October race, we'd welcome your vote and any that you can muster for us. Regardless, good luck to you in the next sprint. If you have any questions about how we made it this far, you can email me through my profile.

I think it would be a great idea to have high schoolers contribute to the newspaper. I do want it to focus on politics as a big picture, instead of just issues that will affect them. I think it will add the element of critical thinking skills, forming unique and educated opinions, and conversation skills.
